Who Would Be Your Choice To Play Grand Admiral Thrawn?

By FTS Gecko, in X-Wing Off-Topic

I was just thinking to myself how Mads Mikkelsen would have been perfect for the role in a future film. I know Mads has already bee cast in a different role for Rogue One, so not going to happen, but **** ge would have been awesome.

Can anyone suggest any potential candidates?

Patrick Stewart.

Ciaran Hinds.

Jeremy Irons.

Nope! Not after the Dungeons and dragons movie! ;)

He can be pretty menacing in the Hollow Crown movies he's in.

Christian Bale

I hate to say it, because I'm not really all that fond of him, but Benedict Cumberbatch would be perfect for the role.

I can sort of see it, yeah.

How about Kevin Bacon?

Given that Thrawn is essentially Sherlock Holmes if Holmes had devoted his intellect to military strategy instead of crime solving, he seems a perfect fit.

The thing about Balderdash Conquistador is that there isn't a role he can play that wouldn't be better served by Tom Hiddleston.

And both are, I my opinion, too young for the role. Thrawn isn't in his early thirties.

Benedict Cumberbatch is 40, HIddleston is 35, neither is in their early 30s...

Cumberbatch would work well for me.

Alan Rickman would have been amazing :(

Um.

Lars Mikkelsen perhaps?

Well he did do a good job as batman. Guess he could pull it off

Benedict Cumberbatch would do well as Thrawn, I think. Blue skin...red eyes...yeah, I could see that working.

How about Iain Glen

If we are gonna go aGoT actors, might aswell go with M ichael Mcelhatton.

After all Roose Bolton was a calm clever villain to.

He sure has the voice for Thrawn.

Lars Mikkelsen is the voice of Thrawn in Rebels . So there already is someone playing Thrawn.

If you ask me he looks like he would be fine as a live action Thrawn as well.

Quick, someone photoshop them in blue with red eyes. :D

Danny Devito

Just saw a movie with him yesterday which made me realize Christoph Waltz can do an excellent intelligent menace.

Eddie Murphy

I would personally cast Michael Fassbender.
